Television Shows Your Family Can Watch Together

Posted on July 14th, 2011 by admin

With each new season it seems like there are less scripted TV shows and more reality programs. I can certainly appreciate a good drama series or a well-written sitcom but I am rapidly replacing my regulars with reality shows.

One of the reasons that I am watching more reality TV is because a lot of these shows appeal to my whole family. My oldest son thinks my favorite drama is sappy and some of the jokes on the sitcoms I like are a little racy for my youngest. Reality competition shows such as Survivor or Wipeout provide the necessary action to keep us interested with very little offensive language or subject matter.

Game shows are also popular around our house. Wheel of Fortune is a family favorite because we are about evenly matched in problem solving ability. Jeopardy is harder but gives us each a chance to show off a little knowledge in certain subjects.

Another competition based show that our family enjoys is Americas Got Talent. This show features a wide variety of amateur acts performing for a panel of judges. Viewers can actively participate by casting votes for their favorite contestants so each member of our family can do their part by phoning in.
